Error Handling

On success, these functions return S3L_SUCCESS.

These functions perform generic checking of the arrays they accept as arguments. If an array argument contains an invalid or corrupted value, the function terminates and an error code indicating which value of the array handle was invalid is returned. See Appendix A of this manual for a detailed list of these error codes.

In addition, the following condition will cause the functions to terminate and return the associated code:

• S3L_ERR_ARG_AXISNUM - The axis argument has an invalid value. The correct values for axis are

  • 0 <= axis < rank of a (C/C++)

  • 0 < axis <= rank of a (F77/F90)
